Report: Dion Waiters has a mysterious illness that may be tied to his being removed from the starting lineup

Pro Basketball Talk | Nov 17

The Cavaliers held a players only meeting earlier this week, after losing by 29 points to the Timberwolves which put them at just 3-7 through the team’s first 10 games.

There were reports that the meeting turned contentious, and that players confronted one another about how things were playing out — none of which is a great sign less than three weeks into the regular season.

It was rumored that the play of Dion Waiters was one of the meeting’s issues, but others denied that was the case. Whether there’s something going on internally where Waiters is concerned or there isn’t, he hasn’t been with the team since Wednesday’s loss, and an illness with little details is what’s being blamed for his absence.
